Since the curriculum of many classes has been altered this year due to COVID-19, WHS will not be holding midterms in the 2020-2021 school year. “I think that the upsides to having no midterms this year is that we don’t have to spend weeks studying for them,” sophomore Allie Chase said.

Since it would not be safe to conduct all Spirit Day events in person, the WHS Student Council worked out a way to still hold a fun yet safe Spirit Day: virtually. Students had mixed reactions to this plan, but most students were happy they got to have any sort of event. “I’m thankful that we could at least have a Spirit Day in general,” freshman Mia Mee said.

Due to COVID-19 cancelling many fundraisers in the final months of the 2019-2020 school year, the WHS class of 2022 lost significant funding for their prom. In order to make up for this loss, the junior class will be selling pre-portioned cookie dough for $20. “This fundraiser and any that we carry out this year is to make up for those lost opportunities,” Zhao said.

COVID-19 has cancelled many of Wayland's normal activities such as school dances and sports game, but the student council did not let the pandemic take away the WHS tradition of Spirit Day and the activities during the week leading up to the event. Unlike this picture from two years ago, Spirit Day will be fully remote this year. “It's going to be similar in spirit but very different in execution,” Student Council Vice President Porter Moody said.
